Solve : Amazing disappearing files!?

Answer»

Quote

If this is any help, when I ran the check disk function it came up with various lines, as per the following:

File record segment 20824.29 34067.55
Deleting index entries
Recovering lost files
Verifying security descriptors
Verifying the data
Windows replaced bad cluster

All my music is back now and windows media player can find it all.

Peace out

As Patio said, it was a disk error. (Back up all your important data in case it happens again!)
Ok, for each line of text, I have a responce

File record segment 20824.29 34067.55
Deleting index entries
>>INDEXES of your files, probably, but not the Windows Search index
Recovering lost files
>>This is when it looked for the bits and PIECES of lost information and got them back together again (kind of complicated)
Verifying security descriptors

Verifying the data
>>It checked the restored data
Windows replaced bad cluster
>>Windows looked at your disk, and marked all the bad clusters as bad. Only a program MADE to directly modify the disk (like a reformat tool) WOULD BYPASS this note. It would be certain data dammage if a file was placed here again
